Chapter 7 Cao Cao's courtiers

Let’s talk about Zhencheng’s government office, now it’s really time to go to the government office. Everyone has to face a question: what to eat for lunch?

The mainstream of this era was the two-meal system. To put it bluntly, it was the morning meal around nine o'clock and the feeding around four o'clock in the afternoon. However, the powerful, the gentry with conditions, the soldiers during the war, and the farmers during the harvest season were all three-meal system.

Especially when the power is a woman, since the first empress Zhou was very strict with the quality of life, women in each dynasty dared not say extravagant and wasteful, but the requirements for things closely related to life, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, are relatively high.

"Li, prepare to go to the yamen, what should I eat for lunch?" a young woman looked at the beautiful woman who was dealing with government affairs and asked.

"General Ren, it seems that our relationship is not that good yet. Please don't call me my boudoir name!" The beautiful woman looked at the woman and then buried her in the document, "Please call me my name Cheng Yu, otherwise the name is Zhongde."

"Li, you will have no friends like this..." The young woman couldn't help but complain when she heard this. If she talked about her resume, she was still above this beautiful woman, but if she had a position in Cao Cao's heart, it would be different. As the leader of the Cao army, this beautiful woman was highly valued by Cao Cao. She didn't plan to have a good relationship, but she would always be so lukewarm.

"Sister, what are you going to eat for lunch?" But a man came to the young woman and asked with a smile.

"Hong?" The young woman looked back at the visitor, "Today's training has been completed? We can't be compared by the two guys of the Xiahou family!"

"Sister, don't worry, the training is completed on time and in quantity!" When the man came to the woman, he only looked at her appearance and probably felt that the man should be the woman's elder brother, but in fact it was the opposite.

The birth rate of women is too low, so after hundreds of years, once a woman is born, her quality is far greater than that of men. This is the fundamental reason why women can be sovereign; secondly, life expectancy is increased, up to 200 years old; finally, puberty is until 180 years old, until the age of 181, and old age begins in 191.

However, the time for childbirth can naturally be born from the age of 12 to the age of 180. In recent hundreds of years, there have been more than 80 cases of childbirth in these hundred years, including 20 infant girls, and they have been commended by the royal family.

On the contrary, most men live around forty or fifty years old, enter middle age at the age of thirty or fifty, and enter old age at the age of thirty or fifteen. Some people live to the age of 60, which is considered rare since ancient times.

"Oh, that's good... I really don't want to eat in the yamen..." The young woman felt a little relieved when she heard this, but then she sighed, "It's black beans and wheat rice every day... I know that Meng De is short of money, so she can't buy cheap ones!"

Due to the relationship between promotion and cooking methods, wheat is lower than corn. I won’t go into details about this. I only talk about black beans, which were originally used to feed horses, but people generally don’t eat them, so the price is naturally not expensive.

"It's already good to eat, but there's still cured meat to serve!" The beautiful woman did not look up, but responded.

"Forget it!" The young woman heard this and felt a chill behind her back. If it weren't for the lack of food and helplessness, she would be the first to jump out to prevent the appearance of Cheng's cured meat.

"Then go out to eat?" Another young short-haired woman walked in, "The Cao family is not short of that little money, right?"

"Save some military rations and let the soldiers eat more!" A man in Confucian robe followed the girl with short hair.

"The problem is that even if I want to go out to eat now, Zhencheng is also in short supply. Even if I often go to Tianxianglou, the ingredients come and go, and I feel tired of eating!" The girl surnamed Cao immediately complained.

"And the locust plague is getting worse and worse. If you continue, you will probably be hungry..." The beautiful woman put down the document and sighed.

"Speaking of it, where is Meng De?" The girl surnamed Cao looked around and saw that the clan sister had never seen anyone recently.

"The lord went to talk to the gentry, but it seemed that he was afraid that he still had nothing." The beautiful woman shook her head. Since Lu Bu occupied Chenliu County and captured Puyang City, Cao Cao lacked food and supplies, so he did not lack money. He finally made a lot of "extra money" in Xuzhou.

The problem is that nowadays, the severe drought and locust plague in Yanzhou are scarce, and the gentry hoards and refuses to sell stored grain. It is really useless to have money. It is said that in Guanzhong, one stone of grain has been sold for 100,000 yuan, a full ten cents!

"That's why I said it!" At this moment, Xiahou Dun walked in with a groaning heart, "Just kill all these ignorant gentry and confiscate all their property!"

"This will make the gentry from other places disunited us!" The woman surnamed Cao immediately retorted, "Lu Bu was able to enter Yanzhou because some time ago, the lord issued a recruitment order and killed the famous scholar Bian Rang last year. If he killed people and searched his house, I am afraid that the few counties under his control will turn to Lu Bu!"

"By the way, aren't we discussing what to eat for lunch?" The short-haired girl pulled the topic back directly.

"Aren't you worried?" The girl surnamed Cao complained directly, "It's good that Yan is here at this time. She must know where there is delicious food in Zhencheng! Then again, what about Yan?"

"It seems that I still saw it at the time of the morning... I asked someone to ask?" The short-haired girl spoke directly.

At this moment, Xun Yu hurried over to the side and saw a few people, he felt relieved. If everyone was there, there would be no need to notify him everywhere, so he went forward to salute and said slowly: "My sirs, the head of the family Xun Yu asked the young one to tell you the words to you, Yandong District, there is a restaurant, and the head of the family entertains you for lunch, hoping to go there!"

"There is a restaurant?" The woman surnamed Cao thought for a while, "Isn't it the one near the government office? It's just a restaurant of that level. How could she go there in the pursuit of delicious food in Jae Yeon?!"

"Don't say that!" Xiahou Yuan jumped out immediately after hearing this, "The owner is very handsome, and his cooking skills are really good!"

"It's the shop owner who you like, keeps pursuing but is rejected again and again?" The short-haired girl suddenly realized.

"He is just a little shy and shy, but this makes him look even more cute!" Xiahou Yuan retorted directly.

"I won't say anything about your orientation..." The man in Confucian robe came forward directly, but he couldn't come forward, and he turned aside, "Sima Xun came forward to treat her, will we go?"

"Since it's Xun Sima, I have to give you this face!" The beautiful woman thought for a while, and finally stood up.

"We also have a headache for lunch, and it's solved now!" said the short-haired girl with a smile.

"It's a bit embarrassing!" Xiahou Dun recalled her previous shameful appearance. She had decided not to go to that restaurant in the short term, but her desire for food made her hesitate. "Since it was invited by Xun Sima..."

Of course, it is not necessary to say that they would treat Xun Yu to the guests, so of course they would go there. At the same time, they were also curious about how delicious it was to let Xun Yu go to visit this restaurant.

Seeing that everyone had left, a figure swayed into the government office. Looking at the empty hall, he sighed: "Are these guys going out to eat again? I don't bring me with me, it's really unreasonable!"
